Joe Jordan and Clive Allen at Millwall/Brighton last night

[Spurs_Bear]

These two were in the Executive Lounge last night at the game, according to a Millwall STH in my office.

He reckons they could have been looking at Noone, played on the right wing, left footed for Brighton.

Either that or Mickail-Smith? Described as a 'tricky little ****' by my colleague.

Anyone seen much of them?

 

[$hoguN]

Mickail-Smith is a decent player from what I have seen

:lol:

Mackail-Smith has been a good goal-scorer in the football league, but approaching his late 20's now so not sure he is ever going to step up to our level. Cant see that we would be looking at him.

If they had gone seven years ago, I'd have said they were looking at Vicente but then they would have been at the wrong stadium and behind most of Europe's top scouts.

That was my initial thought too, apparently there was a decent lad on show in the centre of midfield called Liam Bridcutt.

Could well be him, know nothing about him but seen his name linked with a lot of clubs.

The word is that lots of clubs are looking at Lewis Dunk - good prospect, but I think we need a ready made, can move right into the first team, type defender during the next window

Scouting info from someone close to Brighton is that Mackail-Smith isn't Premier class - but we knew that

Smartest thing to do would be recall Caulker, he's injured at the moment but not sure how long for.

We can't have 5 centre backs who all expect to play when fit, granted 2 of them are rarely fit but evn that leaves the issue of lack of cover and taking up of squad places.

Caulker wouldn't use up a squad place yet and would probably be happy with a squad player role.

Went to see how Poyet coaches his players in light of Modric's concern that they are shite and too old.

We can't recall him, it's a season long loan to another Premier League club.

Party pooper!!

Liam Trotter plays for Millwall he'd be an excellent signing for a wheeler dealer manager.

Think so, but he did it sliding in to clear the ball off the line. Ended up hitting his knee off the post while doing so.

Skysports.com understands Brighton's towering defender Lewis Dunk is being chased by a trio of Premier League clubs.

The 19-year-old was watched by Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City at The Den on Tuesday evening.

Spurs have previously been in the market for a central defender after missing out on Gary Cahill in the summer transfer window.

Sebastien Bassong is expected to leave White Hart Lane in search of first-team football in the January window, and Ledley King's injury problems mean he is generally unable to play twice a week.

Examine

And it would seem Spurs are already looking at defensive options as coaches Joe Jordan and Clive Allen were present at Millwall to reportedly examine Dunk's qualities at close quarters.

However, Spurs would face competition for the signature of the defender from Arsenal, who had chief scout Steve Rowley running the rule over the prospect too.

Arsene Wenger's porous defence has concerned the Arsenal manager and he has dispatched his scouts on a global search for the solution.

Initial reports on the callow stopper had been impressive and Rowley will now begin to compile a more detailed dossier.

Manchester City are also monitoring Dunk's progress and had a scout of their own present to watch him in action against Millwall.

Gus Poyet would be disappointed to lose such a promising player in the January transfer window.

Dunk started the season alongside skipper Gordon Greer, following injuries to more senior defenders, and has blossomed beyond all recognition.
